Ted Nash
A swing-oriented reedman and studio player who was active from the 1940s to the 1980s, Ted Nash is best known for his association with Les Brown and should not be confused with his nephew Ted Nash (who was named after his uncle and was born in L.A. in 1959). Both play the tenor saxophone, but while the younger Nash has embraced hard bop and post-bop and experimented with avant-garde jazz, the older one was very much a product of the swing era. The older Nash (whose brother is trombonist Dick Nash, father of the younger Ted Nash) starting getting busy in the 1940s, when he was a key soloist in Les Brown's big band and worked with both jazz and pop figures. While in Brown's employ, Nash played on such number one hits of the 1940s as "Sentimental Journey" and "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Day" (both of which featured a young Doris Day). Nash backed quite a few noteworthy singers in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, including Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat "King" Cole, Nancy Wilson, and June Christy. Though Nash led or co-led some sessions on Starlite, Liberty, and Columbia in the 1950s, most of his income came from backing others. Nash worked with famous composer Henry Mancini in the 1960s, and in the 1970s he was employed by artists ranging from pop-folk vocalist Judy Collins to Quincy Jones (who used him for the celebrated Roots). Nash retired from music in the 1980s.

Richard Taylor "Dick" Nash
Dick Nash, a fine swing trombonist, was the brother of tenor saxophonist Ted Nash and the father of another talented saxophonist named Ted Nash. Unfortunately, Dick matured after the end of the big band era and chose the life of a well-respected studio musician over that of a creative jazz player. Starting in 1947, Dick worked with the big bands of Sam Donahue, Glen Gray and Tex Beneke. He served in the military from 1950-52 (playing in an Army band part of the time) and after his discharge was with Billy May's popular orchestra in 1953. After leaving May, Dick settled in Los Angeles and became an in-demand studio musician. In later years Dick was often called on to recreate swing era solos (particularly those of Tommy Dorsey) but never led his own record session.

Ted Nash
Ted Nash, un músico de estudio y de carreras de swing que estuvo activo desde los años 40 hasta los 80, es más conocido por su asociación con Les Brown y no debe confundirse con su sobrino Ted Nash (que lleva el nombre de su tío y nació en L.A. en 1959). Ambos tocan el saxofón tenor, pero mientras que el más joven Nash ha abrazado el hard bop y el post-bop y ha experimentado con el jazz de vanguardia, el mayor fue en gran medida un producto de la era del swing. El mayor (cuyo hermano es el trombonista Dick Nash, padre del menor Ted Nash) comenzó a trabajar en los años 40, cuando era un solista clave en la big band de Les Brown y trabajaba con figuras del jazz y del pop. Mientras trabajaba para Brown, Nash tocó en éxitos tan importantes de los años 40 como "Sentimental Journey" y "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Day" (ambos con una joven Doris Day). Nash apoyó a bastantes cantantes notables en los decenios de 1940, 1950 y 1960, entre ellos Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat "King" Cole, Nancy Wilson y June Christy. Aunque Nash dirigió o co-dirigió algunas sesiones en Starlite, Liberty y Columbia en los años 50, la mayoría de sus ingresos provenían de apoyar a otros. Nash trabajó con el famoso compositor Henry Mancini en la década de 1960, y en la década de 1970 fue contratado por artistas que iban desde la vocalista de pop-folk Judy Collins hasta Quincy Jones (que lo usó para el famoso Roots). Nash se retiró de la música en la década de 1980.

Richard Taylor "Dick" Nash
Dick Nash, un fino trombón de swing, era el hermano del saxofonista tenor Ted Nash y el padre de otro talentoso saxofonista llamado Ted Nash. Desafortunadamente, Dick maduró después del final de la era de las grandes bandas y eligió la vida de un respetado músico de estudio por encima de la de un músico de jazz creativo. A partir de 1947, Dick trabajó con las big bands de Sam Donahue, Glen Gray y Tex Beneke. Sirvió en el ejército de 1950 a 1952 (tocando en una banda del ejército parte del tiempo) y después de su baja estuvo con la popular orquesta de Billy May en 1953. Después de dejar a May, Dick se estableció en Los Ángeles y se convirtió en un músico de estudio muy solicitado. En años posteriores, Dick fue llamado a menudo para recrear solos de la era del swing (particularmente los de Tommy Dorsey) pero nunca dirigió su propia sesión de grabación.
